I am wondering if anyone has experience generating a cut-list from an assembly and/or exporting multiple part data from an assembly into a spreadsheet.
A simple hypothetical example would be a bookshelf. Lets say I've created an assembly for a simple bookshelf:
- two panels for top and bottom
- two panels for sides
- three panels for shelves
- one panel for the back

Does Alibre expert have some of function where I can export information similar to what is found in the 'measure tool' dialog box into a spreadsheet or document for all parts within my assembly? Something that I could maybe filter out information like the below example:
I have been researching online and on this forum for an answer prior to asking about this. Also I know I can manually track the dimensions for the parts as I create them however I am trying my best to use global parameters for uncertainties: in this example the the panel thickness would be [Plywood=0.75"] but when I purchase the plywood from the store maybe its actually a metric product and closer to 0.735" which would throw off all my panel sizes in a manually cataloged Spreadsheet.
Thanks in advance for any guidance.

Part count in Assembly | Part Name | xy measure | yz measure | xz measure |
2x | Bookshelf_TopBottom | 12" | 24" | 3/4" |
2x | Bookshelf_Side | 12" | 36" | 3/4" |
3x | Bookshelf_Shelf | 12" | 22 1/2" | 3/4" |
1x | Bookshelf_Back | 24" | 36" | 1/4" |
